The Bengals were the only team to give Joe Montana and the 49ers a run for their own money. Both games, no other team came close to beating them, Cincinnati came within a TD of both games against the 49ers. 49ers were stronger and more efficient than Cincinnati in the first game, Bengals finally came to play some ball after halftime and damn near got the Lombardi. The second game was much closer and they woulda had it but they left the 49ers with just enough time on the clock to drive 90 some yards and score with 30 seconds to go. Either way. they were both truly Great games and both teams gave their all in both games.

[@astrostar49]

Wow excellent choice. This is one of my favorite games, and I'm glad you decided to spotlight it. I loved the 1979-1985 San Diego Chargers. Even with a defense that got progressively worse, I just loved their ability to score at will. The deck was definitely stacked against the Chargers here having just played that overtime epic in Miami, and then having to travel to play in one off the coldest games ever. I think Kellen Winslow said he still had frostbite in his toe from this game. Dan Fouts mentioned that throwing the ball was like throwing a brick, and unfortunately for him he could just never get a really crisp spiral naturally like Ken Anderson could who fared much better. The Bengals were just the better team anyway, and they clobbered the Chargers in San Diego that year earlier.

Kenny Anderson was the man and issac Curtis was the coolest wide receiver that’s what made a New York kid a Bengals fan till this day,There D was so good then ,now a different story

[@90sSportsNostalgia]

The Ken Anderson HOF debate is such an interesting one. Yes, he never won a Super Bowl which unfairly hurts him, but he really did well with teams with lesser talent and was in the same division as the Steel Curtain for a decent part of his career. If I'm not mistaken, Football Outsiders rated all of the best quarterback seasons ever and I think Ken Anderson had 2 seasons in the top 10. His career was kind of like Kurt Warner where he played really well near the beginning of his career, then for the middle of his career wasn't 100% healthy, then for the end of his career played really well.

[@BrotherApexx]

I hope he gets in. On any other team, especially one in a big market, he would have won a Super Bowl and been in the HOF already.

[@rolandbush8463]

Kenny Anderson Ken Riley and Bill Bergey should be in the Hall of Fame.

[@dumbass4624]

If ken Anderson gets in the hall of fame then so should cam they both have identical stats besides rushing stats

[@rolandbush8463]

What hurts Kenny is that even though the Cincinnati Offense and West Coast Offense are the same, brought to life by one man the same man, the Cincinnati Offense is more well balanced utilizing short accurate passes with Paul Brown's history/need for a big back. So its a slower more balanced attack. The West Coast Offense is definitely more pass happy eliminating the big back. Think of it this way the Cincinnati Offense is a first gen Corvette whereas the West Coast Offense is the Stingray and newer models. They're all Corvettes "BUT". Ken Riley and Bill Bergey are another head scratching conundrum. Let me add the NFL and sports writers in those NFL cities hated/feared/envied Paul Brown. He came in from another league kicking ass and dominated for ten years. Look at the three teams the NFL gave to the AFL, an AAFC team that dominated them, a team with the name of an AAFC that became a success and the worst team in the NFL. Good riddance bye bye no big loss on the NFL's part. And that will to this day hurt any player for the Bengals.
